The world is changing faster than our newsfeeds can keep up. From the way we work to the way we create, Artificial Intelligence is no longer a “future” concept—it’s here. But what does it actually mean for you?

Join us for an enlightening afternoon with Dr. Paul Belanger as he strips away the jargon and dives into the mechanics, ethics, and opportunities of the AI revolution.

What to Expect:

Whether you’re a tech enthusiast or someone who barely knows their ChatGPT from their GPS, this session is designed for everyone. Dr. Belanger will cover:

The “How” Behind the Magic: A plain-English look at how AI actually thinks and learns.

The Human Element: How AI is reshaping industries and what skills will matter most in the coming years.

Ethics & Impact: Navigating the bias, privacy, and societal shifts that come with automation.

Interactive Q&A: A chance to ask your burning questions and get expert insights.

Women’s Circle Bible Study To Begin

Finding Resilience Book

“Finding Resilience, Joy, and Our Identity in Jesus Christ” is the title of a new monthly Bible study hosted by the Esther Circle which will begin on:

June 16th at 1:00 pm in the Fellowship Room.

Together we will explore resilience as modeled for us by several biblical characters, gospel and epistle writers, as well as Jesus. We will also explore joy and how to find it in a chaotic world.

Christian joy may be different from how a lot of people define joy. The book is available from Nancy Siewert for the cost of $14. Please come join us!
